Today we're again late to the party by a few decades as we sample the sun dried tomatoes of sweetened beverages. We acknowledge that this episode is rough because no one cares, but no raspberries were harmed in its creation so there's that. After we wonder what Italian Sodas were doing between 1933 and 1982, we end up washed up and thrown out along with some scary goo.

Episode 694: Fancy Yogurt Smackdown
Today we wonder what this topic means as we live that chill yogurt life and talk lots of crock. Since 'creamy, cold and neutral' is acceptable we decide to perplex ourselves instead with questions like 'cow or sheep'? and 'to stir or not to stir?' and 'Larry Who?' before a shocking reveal threatens to unravel everything.

Episode 693: Gruyère
We're in our cave era as we discuss our foodie memories of these specialty cheeses. We get real fancy with dumbwaiters, castles and a coat of arms as we look for a nice dense mass that isn't smeary and gluey. Matthew gaslights Molly and learns something new before dreaming big by dreaming small while Molly updates us on literal spilled milk.Fine Cooking potato galetteClassic GougèresThe production of Gruyère AOP video

Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.
